A mainstay of Midtown Atlanta's gay nightlife, Blake's on the Park (as in Piedmont Park, the upper portion of which has long been known as Homo Hill) is now more than two decades old, but it's still as popular and packed as ever. Different entrances and levels allow it to feel like many separate mini-bars, so the drag shows for which it's well known can go on in one room while the city's pretty boys can obliviously dance and posture to the latest beats in the next. The renovated top-floor bar with its chocolate-leather stools invites happy-hour martini sipping or a light bite from the casual menu. Boys may dissipate for late-night dancing elsewhere, but at some point in the evening most of them twirl through Blake's. A local gay music spotlight and bingo add to the lively weekly agenda.
